I selected a track to play, and the track name popped up in AR's window on the PC, but nothing happened. From BubbleUPnP I has able to select MinimServer for my library (UPnP server) and Audiophile Renderer as my UPnP renderer. It started right up, displaying its operating window I did not enable VSTs (which are optional). I downloded BubbleUPnP on my Android tablet and downloaded Audiophile UPnP Renderer v2.3 and the MIcrosoft Visual C++ (x86) 2015 Redistributible on my PC. So, ready to move into the world of UPnP I installed MinimServer 2 on my Synology NAS for my 'Library' and copied over the music files (.flac and. I used Amazon Music Ultra-HD to verify 24/96 files played properly (my local files were 16/44.1 CD copies). Then I hooked up the downstream analog gear and began playing local music files right away. Then I hooked up my Benchmark USB DAC and configured it in Windows Sound Control.
I had started by building a mini-ITX PC and installing Widows 10 Home intending it to be a dedicated music server.
However, there is always an option to enable UPnP, you just need to find it in your settings for your router.After seeing the Audiophile UPnP Renderer show up in a couple of forums with positive reviews I believed that I had found what I needed. Note: This process varies from router to router and will not be the same for everyone. Checking the “Enabled” box for UPnP and pressing “OK”
